This week was a busy week. Don't forget that the 15th at 2pm EST is the last chance to get your entries in for the Secret Santa Short Story Contest. Unfortunately, if they're not in by then, I can't include them in the voting that will start on the 16th. Good luck to all the entrants.

On Monday, Cia announced the choices for the December CSR. This month is all about Christmas stories!

On Wednesday we had this month's Ask An Author feature. To see what the authors were asked, and what their answers were, check it out.

There were no prompts on Friday, due the Thursday release of the 2015 Winter Anthology: Blackout. There were eleven entries provided by ten authors. If you haven't already done so, go read and let the authors know what you thought.

Saturday we had a reminder post for the Secret Santa Story Contest.
